The Tick

Fox

Thursday 8:30–9:00 p.m.

Cast:

Patrick Warburton, Nestor Carbonell, Liz Vassey, David Burke

Hands down, the most bizarre and risky show of the season. Warburton stars as the titular blue-suited bug that protects the City, with the help of Captain Liberty (Vassey) and Bat Manuel (Carbonell). Instead of fighting crime, however, the superheroes spend much of their time battling personal problems. The show is based on the comic book series by Ben Edlund and Comedy Central's animated series. A quirky entry that works.
